As a child in the 60's, De got me through many a boring time by just turning on Star Trek. I miss him so much, but now after finally seeing the new movie I think I just became a big-time Spock Prime fan. Never did get the Kirk hoopla, though.
Bones was the heart of the show, and here's the proof. Shatner and Nimoy needed De Kelley and because of that it made for wonderful viewing when they were all together. It's what was missing from the new Star Trek film. You need Bones to balance Kirk and Spock out.
It's not just you. I noticed that myself; De looks totally stunned that all these people are clapping and cheering for him. He never struck me as somebody who let fame go to his head, anyway - in every interview I've ever seen him in, De was always so courteous and humble. Such a wonderful man.
What really amazed me about De in this vid was that he looked totally stunned to walk out onstage to a standing ovation and a cheering audience. He kept on saying "Wow" the whole time they were cheering for him. If there's any proof that De never let his fame go to his head, this is it. He truly was a humble man, and so beautiful, inside and out.
I can't thank you enough for posting this. De is my hero and I love seeing him that happy. I just wish I could have seen that in person. I watch this whenever I need a good laugh....or cry....
Oh yes... I wish I could've known De; he never seemed like anything but a total gentleman, a genuinely sweet man, and a beautiful soul. He just seemed like the kind of man who'd be your best friend no matter what. He truly was a beautiful man, inside and out, and I miss him so much!
What really amazes me about this video is how amazed DeForest looked as he was walking out onstage to a standing ovation and a cheering crowd. He never seemed like somebody who was full of himself, even as famous as he was. He just seemed like a genuinely sweet and down-to-earth man, and this video just proves it even more. Thank you so much for posting and God bless!
very cool thanks for sharing

Deforest Kelley: So, I'd better say what i need to say out here, 'cause it'll never happen when those two guys get out here.
Me: NO! DE, YOU ARE JUST AS AWESOME AS SHATNER OR NIMOY!!!!! DON'T BE LIKE THAT...*sob* ...God, i miss that man so much...
My Mom: ...Uh...O____O
Me: heh, heh...sorry, just a little emotional breakdown there. :'(

@YesWeCantaloupe - I had gathered that much at least. I'm talking about what he said AFTER Nimoy and Shatner removed their hands.

DeForest Kelley is the oldest one, Kirk and Spock are from the same generation, around 1936, but Kelley is from 1920, he doesn't look so old.

Calling all De Kelley fangirls!
We all need to build a time machine, go back in time, and give him a hug because he is just that awesome!!!
(Is it just me, or does he seem surprised that so many people are cheering for him? He keeps saying WOW. Yes, you are loved, De!!)
